Title: Rock Melter

Rock melter

Originally proposed by Stormy (http://forum.outpostuniverse.net/index.php?showtopic=2067&st=0&#entry38015)

Related ideas:

- Improved Bulldozer/Earthworker (http://forum.outpostuniverse.net/index.php?showtopic=2736)
- Advanced Terrain Modification (http://forum.outpostuniverse.net/index.php?showtopic=2739)

Description:

Special weapon (maybe mounted on a special unit) that can melt rocks and dirt


This is a bad idea, because:

- Melting sand would only make glass and that would give you very little traction.

Does "Posted: Mar 19 2006, 07:42 PM" mean nothing to you?
Don't go through old things and feel obligated to reply to all of it. In fact, as a general rule, don't reply to anything older than two weeks.

A rock melter you seriously think they would use such a powerful thing as a non military device.  If you have the energy to melt a damn rock it would blow right through any tank or building.  Lava is melted rock takes alot of energy to melt rocks.  

I know if i had such a thing i would have blown some b****es away with it.

Because we don't want super weapons.
If there is something that can blow everything with one shot, noone will build 'normal' weapons.

Still, it would need too much power.
